Fire Protection Valves

Wide ranges of valve styles are used in the Fire Protection Industry. In large diameter Fire Water Ring Mains Gate valves and Butterfly valves are frequently used with Gate valves been the preferred option by many due to maintenance issues with Butterfly valves.

Various types of strainers are used to ensure that raw untreated water does not contain any harmful particles, which could damage the soft closure member of some styles of valves. For the smaller diameter lines Ball valves and Gate valves are used for simple on / off applications.

In many onshore situations the FireWater Ring Main will be buried underground which requires all valves to be operated by extended drives to a suitable Pedestal or Gearbox..
